Cross Race Frame black?n?flashyellow
When the cyclocross bug bites, you’ll want a bike that’s up to the task. That’s why we created the Cube Cross Race frame – a perfectly balanced, affordable and adaptable machine that’s ideal for winter training, racing or exploring beyond smooth Tarmac.
For on- and offroad use: Cube Cross Race Frame in black?n?flashyellow for disc brakes CUBE’s design team loves sweating the details, which is why you’ll find thoughtful touches on the Cross Race – like the specially shaped, ergonomic top tube to make for easier carrying. As you’d expect from one of our high performance aluminium frames, we used double butted Superlite Advanced 6061 tubes, optimised via elaborate mechanical forming to create a frame that’s both light and stiff. Combined with 12mm through axles front and rear, it means you can be sure that the Cross Race will respond instantly to your every input. We haven’t forgotten comfort, either – slender seat stays and a precise-steering, vibration-absorning carbon fork developed specifically for cyclocross work together to reduce rider fatigue. Race-ready geometry provides a balanced ride position, ensuring handling that’s the perfect blend of agile and stable – ideal for everything from racing to cross-country rides, training or commuting.

Technologies Aluminium Superlite
Extremely high tensile strength heat-treated 7005 aluminium alloy is developed for the highest requirements. It is very stiff, fatigue resistant, corrosion resistant and has high elongation. Our Superlite tubes are double butted, giving very light tubesets with a high level of stiffness.
Integrated Cable Routing
Internally routed cables offer many advantages. Cables are protected from dirt for longer life, weight is saved thanks to the absence of external housing and the bike has a clean, sleek appearance.
Press Fit BB
With Press Fit bearings, the bottom bracket bearings are pressed directly into the frame and not screwed in as usual. This gives a wider bottom bracket shell and allows us to build a wider down tube and more broadly-spaced chainstays. Every millimetre of additional width gives a significant improvement in lateral stiffness.
Tapered Steerer
This steerer tube design is stiffer than a conventional straight steerer and yields a more secure ride feel even in difficult terrain. Minimal flex at the front of the frame means the greatest possible steering precision. With the larger steerer, the forks become more rigid. At the same time weight is saved due to the absence of bearing shells as the lower bearing is fully integrated into the head tube. On all of our CUBE carbon models the upper bearing shells are also directly in the frame, so that once more a few grams are saved and the energy transfer is very direct.
Advanced Mechanical Forming
With our Advanced Mechanical Forming technology we can mechanically transform different frame tubes and thus optimize them without material-wearing welding work for the respective requirements. Along the obtained organic look, the production method is primarily motivated by functional reasons. Multiple converted tubes enable us to manufacture lighter and also stiffer aluminum frames.
Wet Paint Surface
On polished, brushed aluminium and all HPC frames, the logos and graphics are applied in multi-layer wet paint. We use this surface treatment technology mainly to save weight.
X12 Through Axle
In this system, a cone is used to form a play-free connection. It is only necessary to tighten the axle from one side. The position of the wheel is done by an insert in the right-hand dropout which is secured by a bolt. The main advantages of the Syntace system are quick and simple changing of the wheel, reliable position of the brake disc and higher stiffness of the rear of the bike. This allows the assembly to be made lighter than a conventional through-axle.
Adaptable X12 Hanger
We optimized our new dropout design based on the Syntace X12 through-axle system, enlarging the area of the frame where the hanger is mounted. We can now fit the longer Direct Mount hangers. Shifting precision and stiffness is therefore improved. With the new design it’s also possible to swap the whole contact area of the axle with the hanger should the system be worn out.
